A one followed by a half

Have you ever found yourself in situations where you have this spurt of instant joy but that moment somehow moves on to you feeling tremendously sad at the same time. I wish I had more guts to make my blog ultra public so that I could take a poll on this. Either ways you probably will write back to me if you really wish to share yours. Here are some of mine:

*  Being tickled in the tummy as a kid until I had to scream "STOP"

* Hearing or telling fart jokes when they were still clever and funny and cracked up the whole family until we fell off our chairs

* Observing your grandpa's beloved garden and realizing that what's left today will be gone tomorrow

* Saying bye to friends from high school thinking it would be the last day we ever saw each other
 
* Saying bye to friends again, this time in Grad school knowing for a fact that the joke we are sharing today would be recalled years later albeit with me back in India and them across a couple of oceans

* Watching the Niagara falls from a bridge and wanting your family half a globe across, next to you

* Hearing my father describe his latest fish pond project over skype and describing how our home is perfect for me to start a little prod co from

* Being held by that someone you've wanted to hold yourself for the longest time but end up doing so only the night before you have to say goodbye

Cheesy? Go ahead and send me yours :)
